Many of the egg cells do not get fertilized by sperm, some may not survive due to external factors, and others may not develop properly. Only a small percentage of the egg cells that are fertilized and develop into embryos will successfully hatch and grow into bullfrog offspring.

Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
What would happen if meiosis did not occur to produce sex cells?
If meiosis did not occur to produce sex cells, there would be no genetic diversity in offspring. Sex cells are the result of meiosis, which shuffles genetic material, leading to unique combinations of genes in offspring. Without meiosis, there would be no variation in the genetic makeup of individuals, potentially leading to decreased adaptability and increased vulnerability to environmental challenges.
Which mutation in a fruit fly could be passed on to its offspring?
A mutation in the germline cells of a fruit fly, such as sperm or egg cells, can be passed on to its offspring. Mutations that occur in non-germline cells, such as somatic cells, do not get inherited by offspring.
Do mutations occur in a body cell can be passed on to an offspring?
Mutations in body cells are not typically passed on to offspring because they occur in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. However, mutations in germ cells (sperm or egg) can be passed on to offspring.
What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?
A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
What type of cells does the reproductive system produce?
TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
Why must sex cells divide twice?
So they can produce healthy offspring.
When sex cells randomly combine during fertilization to produce offspring there is?
increase genetic diversity
When sex cells combine to produce offspring sex cell will contribute what?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell contributes?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes?
a baby
Describes reproduction in which the sex cells from two parents unite the produce offspring?
sexual. sexual reproduction.
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
The purpose of meiosis is to?
produce gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, allowing for genetic diversity and ensuring the correct chromosome number in the offspring.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute what?
Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.
Why do organisms that produce sexually not have genetically identical offspring?
Organisms that produce sexually undergo genetic recombination during the formation of gametes, leading to offspring with a combination of genetic material from both parents. This process increases genetic diversity among offspring, enhancing their adaptability to changing environments. In contrast, organisms that reproduce asexually create genetically identical offspring because they do not undergo genetic recombination.
Does a bullfrog have cells?
Yes! All living organisms have cells. Cells make up each and every individual organism there is living.
